Lieberman just proved beyond a doubt that he's a hypocrite. He'll be pressured to do the right thing, only time will tell if he does.

The meltdown phrase of another right wing, former Democratic senator.

6. it's complete self-serving bullshit

You can be an 'Independent' or a 'Democrat' but you CAN'T BE BOTH.

Joe is doing this to 1-hold on to his committee assignments...pathetic

and 2-because CT is blue and his only hope to be a pretend Democrat

Someone needs to disabuse Liarman of this notion of even DARING to associate himself in any way with the Democratic party when he just lost a Democratic primary!

7. It's An Independent Backed By Schumer and the DSCC

Schumer said that the DSCC "fully supports" Sen. Joe Lieberman in his primary bid, and he refused to rule out continuing that support if Lieberman were to run as an independent.

There were degrees of independence, Schumer said. "You can run as an independent, you can run as an independent Democrat who pledges to vote for Harry Reid as Majority Leader."
